Shoulder Pain? It could be rotator cuff tendonitis.

If raising your arm hurts, feels stiff, or swells, your rotator cuff may be inflamed. This common condition often comes from repetitive overhead activity or injury.

Treatment options: Rest, ice, anti-inflammatories, physical therapy, and surgery if needed. Early care can help you get back to your daily activities faster.

Few experiences shape a surgeon more than learning from leaders who set the standard for excellence. We were fortunate to host Yan Chen, MD, PhD from China. His takeaways after visiting Dr. Millett are listed below:

"As my time at The Steadman Clinic comes to an end this week, I want to express my sincere gratitude for the opportunity to learn from you.

I have been truly inspired—not only by your pioneering work in shoulder surgery, but also by your precision, innovation, and unwavering dedication to advancing the field and educating surgeons worldwide. From advanced techniques in rotator cuff repair and shoulder instability management to your strategic approach to complex revision cases, I have gained invaluable knowledge.

When I return to China, I will apply what I have learned to better serve my patients and to share your teachings with my students and colleagues, ensuring your influence extends far beyond Vail.

In China, we say, “One day as a teacher, a lifetime as a father.” I will always remember you with the deepest respect for your skill, vision, and character.

Thank you again for your mentorship and inspiration."
